6 Tips for GenY on the Job Hunt

Reader Comments

Back to article

Gen Yers truly need to find a way to stand out-what makes you unique-and whatever it is, make that the focus of your pitch.

The ay you can stand out is being clear on the way you bring things to the company/manager who is hiring. The more talents you have and skills you can bring into the workplace the more you are seen as a potential asset to that company.

You also need to make it clear that you are the right person for the job because you are confident that you can perform the tasks in the job description and also letting them know what will stretch your learning curve.

Do NOT take a position that is not challenging or something you REALLY want to do or you will get bored, hate your job and your life.
